The track is in the burbs. It may be a tad noisy from all the airplanes.

Never bothered the horses or people at Keeneland or Hollywood. (At least they changed the runaways at Lexington some years back so that the planes don't land directly over the track anymore.)

I think Luke could call our races from the UPS planes coming over the track here in Louisville. That is how close they seem to be.

why i think the place will be a flop is because it isn't in the burbs, its essentially south of the airport and too far away from the majority of the detroit burbs. you'll get the diehards going out there but i just don't see it drawing any crowds from the north.
